Reducing energy consumption

Ways to reduce the energy consumptions

• The use of low energy light bulbs, which last longer and use less energy

• The use of insulated windows and doors. Through cracks a lot of heat can be lost in winter or summer
• Save hot water
• Cook in covered containers. Cooking time will be shorter, and power consumption can be up to three times less
• Do not open refrigerator or freezer when it’s not necessary and not leave them open
• Refrigerator and freezer mustn’t be exposed to the sun
• If no one is watching television or listening to the radio, turn them of
• Use washer, dryer and dishwasher in hours of low electricity prices
• Switch off electronic devices after use.
